Hon. E. w. Turner came in the
city last Monday to address the PeO-
pie on the fair. No meeting was got
ten up for him, hence he did not
speak. The fact Of the people hold
ing no meeting is no evidence that
our people do not appreciate the In
dustrial Fair. 1t is true we are a
long ways off, but We can go ourselves
and send up exhibits Of our field crops
and our handy work.
The association has not been repre-
sented in this part Of the State. and
Mr.. Turner'S coming was not adver-
tised among us except a local notice
in this paper week previous, The
editor gladly aids in all such enter
prises, but could get no information
concerning the fair. Then he has been
from home four-ffths Of the time
during the last two months
1t is hoped that MeekleEburg eOun-
ty will have larger representation at
the fair this year than ever before.

Where Do You Trade ?

There is a good number of business
houses of all classes in this city, and
nearly all of them have the reputation
of having polite clerks and selling
goods cheap; but there are few of
which we can speak and direct our
readers to do their trading. These
gentlemen have had their attention
called to the special needs Of the poor
people, and selected and bought goods
at such prices that they can suit every
class of buyer, in goods and prices
They have not only an eye to the poor
man in buying, but they have an
eye to finding and accommodating the
colored people as we'll. Look over
the columns of this paper, and see
who advertise herein. 1t is in these
houses we would direct your trade.
HARGRAvEs & ALEXANDER
have the second largest dry goods
store in the city, and is one of the
Oldest and most reliable houses. They
keep no job lot goods from Northern
houses compelled to sell the goods
from their shelves on account of age,
dust, &C., but they keep fresh goods
in the latest styles. They have set
of accommodating and polite clerks.
They show their appreciation of the
colored trade by advertising in the
colored peoples paper, and for this,
and the genuine bargains to be had
there, the colored people should con-
tinue to trade with them. Every
Tuesday they sell certain articles for
less than cost. Go next Tuesday and
see if it isn't true.
II. BARUCH
is selling ladies' wear, gentlemen's
wear, and dry goods generally, from
broadcloth suit to cotton towels, but
they are making a speciality of corsets.
This is the banner house of the State,
and when you go there you will see
anything you want.
L. NJ. ANDREWS
is now receiving and has ON hand the
largest lot of furniture and musical
instruments ever in this city. New
styles of new goods are coming from
the factory every day. If you would
get bargain in furniture, you should
go to 4. NJ. Andrews.
IL. B. KENNEDY
has one of the fullest and freshest
stocks of groceries in the city. If
there was no other reason, the conve-
niece of this store should induce all
on ward 3 to trade there. 1t is on
south Graham street, in the midst of
the colored people. Standard and
fancy groceries and all kinds of coun-
try produce always on hand. Then he
sells cheap. Give him call, and if
YOU don't ask for credit he will give
you as good bargain as any one in
the city.
A. W. CALVIN
is not always in his store, but when
he is out the polite fat man is there.
Being on the main street he is conve-
nient to all. Groceries and country
produce are always found here cheap
and fresh. We ask the readers of this
paper to trade with him. By build
ing up one of our own we build up
ourselves.
If you forget the places look over
this paper and refresh the memory.

Breakfast Vegetables.
Good Housekeeping.


Fried potatoes, hominy and mush
aside, the ordinary American is desti-
tute of vegetables. In the Southern
and middle states some cooks have
become acquainted with the merits of
fried and broiled tomatoes as II break
fast dish, and sometimes eggplant is
so served. AS matter of fact, a vege-
table properly fried, is a great help
toward an economical breakfast, Civ
ing the zest called for by languid
appetite when meat seems too sub
stantial. A very narrow list will allow
for the change of seasons, variety be-
ing secured by alternating the methods
of frying; for instance, one morning
rolling the vegetable in dry -four seas
oned with salt and pepper, and frying
it in only enough fat to prevent burn
ing the next time breading it and
frying it like dOughnuts; another day
frying it i'm batter. Summer and win

variety for breakfast, and dispose OF

All Getting the Fashions.

DR.. Dexter of the CongregatiOnalist.
who has been travelling in Europe, re-
marks upon the extent to which the
dress of all civilized nations has be-
come alike. "When L first saw these
European people, from the dress and
general bearing of a party, you could
at once tell where you were. Now the
world has grown so small that 1t Is all
mainly alike in look. The women all
have the same costly, senseless and es-
sentially ridiculous excrescence, de-
forming that part of their dress which
they cannot see with their own eyes,
save through IL glass darkly the men
the same Derby hats and Prince Of
Wales coats. The children all wear
bangs All are so-sOme more so, and
some less So"
